476 Forty years of perseverance
"I will choose the bravest warriors to escort you, remember, gunpowder is usually sealed in large wooden barrels, if you have enough time, you can douse the gunpowder with water or ignite the gunpowder with fire to cause an explosion, you can destroy the gunpowder, if not, then simply destroy the powder keg, and scatter all the gunpowder on the ground, then the gunpowder will not be used again."
The old man admonished Ano, who nodded his head to show that he understood.
Then Ano went to prepare, and after Ano left, the old man looked at the rest of the tribal leaders and did not speak, everyone knew that it was time to choose the bravest warriors of his tribe to be the "escort force".
In fact, everyone understands that escorting troops is to send them to death, and in order to cover Ano to complete the task, they must be sent to death.
If Ano can complete the task, it's fine, if he can't complete it, then those people didn't die too unjustly?
"Big Chief, how many escorts do we want?"
One person asked.
The old man thought for a moment and said, "At least a thousand." ”
1,000 people is indeed not a small number for everyone, and using 1,000 people plus 600 warriors of the Ano tribe as bargaining chips for the destruction of firearms troops is indeed a little too big.
But thinking of the terrifying power of the artillery, they did feel that it was very necessary, otherwise as soon as the opponent's artillery rang out, many young people who had never seen the power of the artillery would probably collapse.
So there was no objection, and everyone was ready to go.
By the afternoon, the convoy was ready, and so were the six hundred warriors of Ano, and each of them prayed to the gods for protection in the oldest way of their tribe, and when the protection was over, the faithful became brave warriors, armed with all kinds of weapons, ready to go.
Of the 1,600 people, nearly half of the 1,000-strong men used sharpened clubs, except for the 600 men of Ano who really used iron weapons.
There is no way, their iron-smelting technology is too poor, and Spain has a technological monopoly, and they can only get iron weapons from the Chinese through various black channels.
As for firearms, don't think about it, the Spaniards don't control it too strictly, and they also have technical content, they can't handle it.
Of course, Juan's situation is not much better, the Spaniards don't care about repairing it, once it is damaged for various reasons, it is gone, the Spaniards don't care, just like firearms, they are generally weapons that have been used for a period of time and are about to break down, and the Spaniards will not trust Juan's people much.
Fight for weapons, everyone fights for half a catty, fights for the number of people, everyone has each other's strengths and weaknesses, then you can only fight luck and see who God is on.
After Ano and the others set off, the old man of the tribe had been sitting at the head of the city watching the play, and for some reason, he suddenly wanted to give Ano a ride.
Because he felt that Ano was very similar to himself when he was young, and watching Ano fight hard was like seeing himself when he was fighting hard when he was young.
Now that Ano is about to die, in order to pay tribute to him, in order to make up for the little regret in his heart, the old man wants to see Ano's end with his own eyes.
It can be regarded as a wish of his.
It has to be said that Arno was very heroic, and the army escorting him was also very useful, and they suddenly came out, which seemed to be completely unexpected by Juan, so that Juan broke through the defense line of a force from the flank without any preparation.
Then they slammed and rushed, not caring at all about their backs, and did not look back at all, as if they had no intention of going back, and were bent on strikingly in the direction of the center.
"Great Chief, the plan has been successful! We can prepare for battle, and when Juan's firearms force is destroyed, we can take advantage of the situation to attack and destroy Juan in one fell swoop! And then completely annihilate them!! ”
An equally young tribal leader looked so excited that he seemed to be tempted to go out and fight.
Then the old man of the tribe shook his head and said very calmly: "It's not time yet, don't worry, you haven't decided the winner yet!" ”
Everyone did not doubt him, so they continued to watch, watching as Ano and their troops turned Juan's men and horses on their backs, and the tribal allies were caught off guard and panicked, at this moment, their entire army was in chaos, and if they took advantage of this time to launch a surprise attack, it should also have good results.
Then another tribal leader spoke.
"Grand Chief, can we prepare? They're playing well! Now that Juan's bastard was caught off guard, the entire army was in chaos, and there was no discipline at all, at this time, we will definitely be able to win a big victory! Let's strike! ”
The old man of the tribe shook his head anyway.
"Don't be too anxious, they have a lot of them, a moment of panic is not a reason for us to press all the attacks, Juan is very cunning, we have to guard against him."
Everyone thought that what the old man said made sense, so they didn't speak again.
When it became more and more difficult for them to advance and encountered more and more obstacles, everyone was a little anxious, and couldn't help but ask the old man of the tribe to attack, and the old man of the tribe waited for a while, just announcing that everyone should prepare the army and prepare for the attack, but still did not give the order to attack.
However, this can also satisfy them for a while, they quickly returned to their own unit and began to gather troops to prepare for battle, let their young Zhuang people hold their weapons tightly, prepare for battle, and say some pre-war mobilization words to everyone, so that those who have not been on the battlefield and have seen the world calm down.
After waiting for a while, before waiting for the order to attack, they were all a little anxious, and returned to the city wall to see the situation, but saw that the old man did not seem to have any intention of giving the order to attack.
And Ano's attack seems to have been encircled, and the other side has formed a huge circular human wall to trap Ano's troops in it.
Ah Nuo is already very close to the center of the opponent, and it seems that as long as he breaks through the last round human wall, he can break through to the central array, and at this time, everyone can't resist the desire to attack!
"Calm down! Didn't you see that Juan was facing our troops head-on and still not moving? That is to fear that we will open the door at any time!
Now we will definitely be guarded by them, we will suffer heavy losses, and only after Ano has successfully destroyed the firearms and damaged their morale, will we attack! ”
The old man of the tribe reprimanded several angry tribal leaders heavily, scolding them so that they could not hold their heads up.
At this time, several loud noises suddenly came back from the battlefield in the distance, and there was a commotion on the head of the city, and the old man of the tribe looked back in surprise.
Smoke was billowing from the central part of Juan's headquarters, and from time to time large fireballs exploded, followed by louder noises that frightened the Combine forces in the city.
And he did! That young man! And he did!
I don't know if there are still people fighting, but the old man of the tribe knows very well that this moment is the best time to defeat Juan! Earlier or later!
"Sortie !!!"
The old man shouted loudly with all his might, at this moment, he didn't think of Ah No, he thought of his forty years of persistence.
